Configuration by config file is preferred but not mandatory for me, but a docker image is mandatory for me to even try the app anymore. And the ability to backup and restore state is key, preferably in such a way that I can write my backup to a mounted smb share rather than writing locally and copying to the network.

I’m running everything on commodity or 2nd hand gear, so failures aren’t unheard of. I had one of my micro PCs cook itself this year, and the majority of my services on that box fit that mold (mostly), so I got them back up pretty quick. Though, I did run into issues with container backups not working (because they write the backup like a database, so it has to be a local write for a db lock) and had to start from scratch .

There is a good reason for that image.

With my memory, will I notice the onset of Alzheimer’s?

Just add ‘in minecraft’ to the meme, they’ll never see through and just think you’re weird.

Of all of the people I know who struggle with either gaining or losing weight I only know 2 people who found changing their diet actually affected their weight

As much as I agree with the rest of what you said, I’m literally an example of how diet can affect your weight. I had a terrible childhood growing up and was >250# all through high school because I ate shit food and drank a ton of soda. When I went to college I couldn’t afford that shit and actually had to change my diet and I dropped 70-80# within a year, and my now mother in law discreetly asked my wife if I was OK because here parents were seriously concerned for my health.

There is definitely a middle ground here where there are a lot of extenuating circumstances that lead to obesity, but there’s also a ton of terrible food packed with empty calories that are specifically formulated to keep you addicted to the dopamine hits, and its superficially cheaper to eat shit food than to buy whole foods and make real food. Especially if you have no equipment/spices or no knowledge of what to do.

This doesn’t support podcast libraries, so it’s not really usable for me, unfortunately.

The biggest complaint I have about the official app is that it doesn’t automatically continue to the next episode when playing podcasts.

Lol, what features does it have that Firefox doesn’t? Corpo spying? Enforced ads? Tighter integration into Google services?

Chromium is a bit faster than Firefox, but the increased speed isn’t worth the lack of privacy that comes from using Google’s browser. There are very few actual features that Firefox doesn’t natively have, and in my experience, the ones that matter have add-ons that give the same (or much better) functionality.

for observations that 95% of the planet would agree with

You’re wildly overestimating how many people would agree with you, and even more so the amount of people who can actually make an informed decision past ‘this inferior product is easier to use’.

Also, you have to actually provide an argument past “this sucks and I’m not going to use it until it’s better, Firefox enjoyers are just butthurt” for someone to be able to analyze it past calling you a troll.

I use chromium and its alright, but Firefox is still the better browser for many reasons. Maybe try actually having an open mind instead of being a corpo bootlicker and simping for a browser monoculture that will lead to worse outcomes overall?

Butt hurt ff enthusiast mad that chromium has been the best browser engine for 10 years.

Lol troll harder

I wrote a media conversion script a decade ago to do that for me, but upkeep was annoying when something like FileFlows makes it stupid easy to accomplish.

I still have that script somewhere… I bet I’ll cringe reading it lol. Still, it’s a great learning experience.

I’ve tried to use the playlist feature on my device a couple of times, but I still had to manually start the next episode. I might try again and see if I can figure it out.

Edit: no change in behavior sadly. Created a playlist and hit play, still had to select the next episode. Played the same playlist from the web client and it goes to the next episode, but headset controls don’t work.

Yes, the android app is my preferred method of accessing my server. It works great, other than on rare occasions when it gets killed in the background for some reason, and my complaint about playlists from the previous comment is a much bigger irritation, but a very minor complaint.

Podcasts are my primary use case (my partner uses audiobooks exclusively), and while it works rather well, I want to put in the caveat that there’s no working playlist functionality in the app, and IME headset controls don’t work from FF for Android.

That’s not a deal breaker for me, but it was a massive disappointment when I switched over. But the lack of playlist functionality in the app only annoys me when I want to follow one of the shorter news feeds, since I have to stop and select the next track every 5 min as the episode ends. No issue with that feed from the browser, so meh.

Works great through my reverse proxy/cloudflare tunnel setup, so not too many actual complaints.

I’m not getting my hopes up until something is released.

I’m still not convinced valve knows how to count to 3.

but not “attack or demean another individual or group of people on the basis of their background or religious belief.”

Yeah, how dare people try to demean someone just because they checks notes hold dehumanizing beliefs and support a government and movement bent on removing the people from their land so they can steal it and build new homes while ethnically cleansing the existing population.

smh my head.

which is hard to still call Zionist if they don’t support any further expansion and any offensive military action.

Your ‘if’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting. And is fucking hilarious given they keep expanding and pushing people out of their decades old homes.

Funny how that part seems to be ignored in defense of zionists…

Tools like restic and Borg and so critical that you will regret not having had them sooner.

100000%

I just experienced this when a little mini PC I bought <2y ago cooked its nvme and died this month. Guess who has been meaning to set up backups on that guy for months?

Unfortunately, that nvme is D. E. D. And even more unfortunately, that had a few critical systems for the local network (like my network controller/DHCP). Thankfully it was mostly docker containers so the services came up pretty easy, but I lost my DBs so configs and data need to be replicated :(

The first task on the new box was figuring out and automating borg so this doesn’t happen again. I also set up backups via my new proxmox server, so my VMs won’t have that problem too.

Now to do the whole ‘actually testing the backups’ thing.

I’m running HA too, but I’m rocking zigbee stuff with a bit of zwave for outside stuff. Works so well (when I properly program it anyway 🤣)!

I’ve been considering adding a wireless door lock to my place, but my home automation platform is entirely self hosted and doesn’t reach out to the net for basically anything.
